The Surface Book got fixed for good with a firmware update though. Meanwhile, all of the Mac problems I mentioned are still not fixed and Apple is still quite obviously, ignoring their desktop OS. They've also always hated power users

Riiiiight. That's why you made the argument about React/Reagent/Om when I pressed you about that point. Nice try though! Anyway, I think I pointed out how wrong you are on just about every other point you made in this thread.

I never used Sling and I practically forgot about it since I learned of it long time ago. I think it one point I heard some rumors that it was dead. Anyway, can you just flip channels with it, like cable? Perhaps I will check it out.

I don't update for every single release like you do I guess. So maybe I have not had any problems that you've had. Ionic does not update right away when angular changes either. My opinion doesn't really matter though. I use w

You're not answering any of my questions; you completely ignored them which was kind of rude in my opinion. Where are these great Clojurescript projects? Anyhow, I use Ionic 2 (which is built on Angular 2) with TypeScript build mobile

I use Mac and Windows every day and I'm certainly comfortable with both of them. Many of my Mac hardware issues have no fix at all though. The one I mentioned about certain USB mice dying has never been fixed. Another thing that will n

Are you asking me or are you telling me? I feel like no matter what I say, you are just going to shoot it down anyway because it seems like this particular avenue of thought is completely closed off to you. What do you think I'm going

Wow, so is this the official beginning of the age of decentralized cable-companies? As a cable cutter, one thing I am really looking forward to is the day that I can flip channels again very easily, without having to think about what I am d

Well, I don't know where you get the idea that C#/TypeScript/Java/etc are only used in bullshit enterprise projects but you couldn't be more wrong about that. There are plenty of games, mobile apps, hobby projects a

It's hard to convince us because it's not true. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true - hardware certainly doesn't "just work" in Apple's ecosystem and it does just work with Windows. I use Mac and Windows

C# is certainly better than JavaScript in many ways. That's why tons of JavaScript developers and popular projects have now switched to TypeScript, the C# of the web. Meanwhile...next to nobody uses Clojurescript.

Windows is beautiful compared to the Mac OS where the software all looks like it was inspired by a 1970's era stereo unit. The ugly UI isn't even the worst part about the Mac OS though. The worst part is that it just doesn't

I feel like I'm in prison or an insane asylum when I have to use my Mac or iOS devices after enjoying the freedom that I have using Windows all day. I could go very far into detail here and list all of the extremely annoying limitation

> ...declared Apple as the platform for discerning power users. Incorrect. There are plenty of discerning power users who prefer the power of a good UI over a good CLI. What you meant to say is "for power users who happen to use UNI

The faces change, but the game stays the same. That's the salient point here IMO. Why is that? Who is behind it?

Do you think they'll ever enable background Linux daemons, so that I don't have to keep a terminal open to keep Postgres running?

Just because I bought one of their devices doesn't mean that I trust them to be the sole owner of the keys to it. I want to own those keys. I actually don't want to trust anybody but myself if I can help it.

Your entire argument amounts to: Trust Apple and nobody else. What makes you think that's a good idea? > We're not talking about a dumb mower that is not storing any of your personal information. Exactly. That's why it&#x2

Thanks for making this. Some suggestions: - How about linking back to the IMDB page for each movie? - It would be great if you displayed various ratings from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and elsewhere kind of like JustWatch.com does (but with link

The author says "Objective-C and Swift cannot continue to coexist indefinitely." but their only supporting argument is that a multi-lingual platform is bad because nobody will know what language to choose. This is the same charge
